In the past, I was a weekly salon mani/pedi girl who insists on only OPI products.
But recently, some things changed (for the good) and I just have to share it…

My nails were brittle and have a tendency to chip at the sides when it gets long,
especially my thumb (coz of intense BB-ing) and forefinger nails.
Then Barf recommended me to try the GNC Fish oil which works like magic!

I bought this via Drugstore.com which is cheaper than in SG,
and just 2 weeks into it, I can feel the difference in my nails. NO MORE CHIPPING!
It also does ALOT more for overall health than just improve nail condition.
My only gripe about it is fishy burp that makes me feel really icky.

But the good condition of my nails had allowed me to grow them out very nicely,
and I no longer find myself running off to the salon to fix my nails - Save Money!
Thus I decided I can try paint my own nails now since plenty of time to dry
when I am furiously typing away on my lappy and will not ruin them.

I was doing my hair at Orchard Central when I pass by this Missha shop.
Then I remember Garance Dore’s summer colors post, and decided to TRY!
For 3 for $10, it was a cheap experiment & worth the risk, so I did.

AND LOVED IT!!!

The Missha glittery one was SUPER BLING! Very very very damn nice!
The pink one was gorgeous and the blue one was a little too watery for my liking.

When I pass by Sasa 2 weeks back, I decided to experiment with more colors,
at 3 for $10, I bought the range of pink/purple tone colors…

I LOVED IT TOOOOOOO!!!!
The colors were thick with even consistency, the brush was great,
and I easily managed to paint my nails without much trouble at all!

And so I went back for more… and tried another brand too!
The blue & green Sylvie ones were going at 2 for $4.50(!!! !!! !!!)

This was slightly harder to apply coz it was a little too thick,
and the second coat have a tendency to become too gooey thus uneven.
And it also easily smudges with a light knock when it wasn’t dry.

BUT BUT!!! It was nothing my trusty Poshe/ Seche QuickDry Top coat won’t save!
After just one layer of the super duper Top Coat - It dried BEAUTIFULLY in an instant!

Am loving my new found joy of self-love nails with cheap whimsical colors!

P.s Pardon the bad grammar and sentence structure in this post.
I am rushing out soon but just HAD to share this, so rambling a lil incoherently. hehe

When I hear the truth, I mull over and get upset.
So slowly, the truth stops coming to me.
When I don’t get any news, I turn suspicious.
So sometimes I get fed snippets of little information.
When curiousity makes discovery from elsewhere, I get pissed.
And then I live in the sadness of knowing I’m here again -
in this sad cycle of knowing, not knowing, truths, untruths & ’self’-imposed unhappiness.

Want to ditch all the insecurities and embrace only the good.
But why is focusing on only the good always oh-so-hard…

Pek has got his first car & I was his first passenger albeit turn one round in carpark. LOL
Most of my friends have driving license except lil’ me (and Yen and Gareth! HAHA).

Somehow the thought of driving seems to daunt me these days.
I’m glad I’ve left it out of my new year resolution list for the past 2 years,
else it would be yet another unfulfilling list of disappointments.
Still, I would love to maybe oooonnneeee day get down to it, till then…

SAY YAY TO LOVING/FRIENDLY DRIVER FRIENDS!!!

As I mentioned, Project FattyBomBom will start next week.
So this is er… celebratory dinner to welcome healthier & fitter me.

*guffaws and die*

P.s Do not jio Pek to eat buffet next time. Damn bo hua one. Pay $50 eat HUGE plate of FRIED RICE!

This is the ONE thing I cannot resist or say no to… *sigh*

Just like you can lure kids with a lollipop,
you can certainly lure me the same way with instant noodles.
I love 出前一丁 (Original and/or Beehoon) and Myojo (chicken) the BESTest!

My Project FattyBomBom-ness is going nowhere.
I am now sitting ON THE LINE of over & acceptable weight with a BMI of 23.
Saddened. *stare at tummy and flabby arm* Need to lose 5kg, Want to lose 10kg.
I woke up early and went to the pool on today determined to get back to shape,
BUT ALAS!!! Of all days… Pool is closed… *grim face*

Shall start next week instead *heave a deep sigh*

Just being narcissistic because I can.

I can’t be a food blogger because I usually chomp into the food too quickly,
and then mid-way with my mouth full go, ‘OH SHIT! Forget to take picture (AGAIN)!’
So anyway, today I went to Glutton’s Bay for a feast and it was one of those days again.
But no loss since the food there turn out to be rather ordinary, nothing to shout about.

Love the view though… There’s nowhere better than the beautiful Marina Bay,
to really see how far Singapore has developed from a little bustling river days…

Marina Bay Sand & beautiful Art Science Museum!

The sky was getting darker as we ate…

Love love love the colors of the sky…

And then here’s what I went all the way there for…
To see for myself - the Youth Olympic’s Flame!!!

Damn far can! Should let us go closer to see and take photo!

This was as near as I could get to it, and I was quite disappointed.
I had thought that it was open for public to see and view it at a closer proximity.
Still, I’m glad I caught a glimpse of the icon of one of Singapore’s proud(er) moments.

Back at Marina Square, I got drawn to the Korean supermarket filled with tidbits!
And then decided to buy a rose on a whim coz I was overflowing with happiness.

One White Rose…

Then just as I thought the evening was as wonderful as it could possibly be,
Perfection said Hello! and filled the skies when we drove by the Helix bridge.

YOG Closing Ceremony Rehearsal…

♥

After that day, have been playing around with my nail colors,
and am loving the whole bunch of candy bottles I bought from Sa Sa!

Did a pale pink and glitter nail last week, and it was one hellavu bitch to remove!
Gonna swear off glittery nails for awhile unless I’m going to the nail parlour. hehe
Come to think of it, ever since I started buying all these pretty lil pots,
I have been cutting down my mani/pedi visits tremendously, to paint my own.

Curse the cuticles that are still growing like weeds though.
Shall put more hand cream and cuticle oil to soften their growth!
